Zihan’s role is a Constituency Focal Point for UNFCCC (Global North Focal Point of YOUNGO – the official children and youth constituency of UNFCCC). He will serve for a one year period to expand the capacity, opportunities and impact of constituency members, and coordinate YOUNGO's engagement with governments, UNFCCC Secretariat, and other stakeholders at global climate negotiations.
